Phoenix supplied equipment to both the Hoover Dam and the Grand Coulee Dam, which are some of the largest Hydroelectric stations in the United States.

“It is truly an honor to be nominated and recognized today as one of the Manufacturers of the Year for Massachusetts. Phoenix Electric Corp. has been a proud member of the Canton business community for more than forty years, without whose support we would not be who we are today. On behalf of all the employees, I want to thank Representative Galvin and the House of Representatives for this recognition” said Paul Clark, president of Phoenix Electric Corp.

“I recently toured Phoenix and was very impressed with their work. Phoenix employs expert engineers and technicians who create tailor-made manufacturing products. They are leading the way in their field. They are a wonderful company to have in Canton, and I was very happy to nominate them for Manufacturer of the Year,” said Galvin.

This was the Legislative Manufacturing Caucus’ second annual Manufacturing award ceremony. Fifty-three manufacturers were honored and had the opportunity to showcase their manufacturing capabilities and products.
